The fight against cancer grew a little stronger Friday night and into this morning thanks to the devotion and generosity of local residents. Several thousand people turned out at the Relay for Life of Hall County annual event held at Road Atlanta in Braselton to raise money for cancer research. Now in its 21st year in Hall, the relay is the American Cancer Society’s biggest single fundraiser.
